Oh, yeah, thatās been Trumpās problem from day 1 - he doesntā know how to express himself.
Try this - āThe KKK sucks, and anyone who associates themselves with the KKK can kiss my ass!ā Doesnāt really seem that hard.

Drumpf expresses himself very well, he explicitly tells people to go to hell, heāll shoot someone on a whim, he hates minorities and other non traditional groups, he hates foreign countries that wonāt or donāt do his bidding, he completely embraces the white supremacist movement. So Hatch shows himself to be a Drumpf *sshole when he defends what Drumpf said.
āLook, I donāt want to waste a lot of time," Trump said. "Iām going to get along great with Congress, OK? Paul Ryan, I donāt know him well, but Iām sure Iām going to get along great with him, and if I donāt? ***Heās gonna have to pay a big price, OK?***ā
Hatch has a point. Someone better versed in expressing themselves would have said "Paul Ryan can fuck off. And he better watch himself, that's a nice little family he's got there, it'd be too bad if something happened to it."

Translationā¦we havenāt had time for Donald to sit down with Frank Luntz and learn the secret decoder buzzwords that help us express our bias, racism, sexism, and true economic beliefs in language that makes it all seem like exactly the opposite. How do you think weāve spent the last eight years in a concerted effort to block every action by President Obama and then been able to convince voters that it is all Obamaās fault?
And besides, Frank has been awfully busy appearing on CBS News as a āpolitical consultantā (where his day job is never spelled out) and hasnāt had a lot of time for schooling this obvious novice.

Translation: "Trump says what most of us and practically ALL of the Republican ābaseā think, but heās just not politically skillful or well trained enough in our political arena to mask it and whistle for those bigoted and racist dogs when we need them."

Not being able to express yourself means you are not qualified to be President. Thanks for clarifying.

No Jeff. No excuses for The Donald! He is only saying what you are thinking/believe but too cowardly to say - you = The Donald = KKK = GOP. FINALLY, after 8 years of the GOP crap, The Donald speaks the truth - the GOP is the party of the KKK!!!
āThe Republican Party does not prey on peopleās prejudices.ā
Funnier words have rarely been spoken.

The Donald is a professional communicator. Thatās the one thing he actually does well. So to say that this was an accident or inexperience is just another example of the GOP Establishment GOPsplaining the very frontal racism and xenophobia that they are about to nominate. What Hatch is saying is that Donald hasnāt learned to filter his responses through the GOP-Luntz dictionary of delivering coded extremist messages in a more benign way. But itās his refusal to do that which is at the heart of why he has been succeeding with low info teapublicans thus far. The Republicans are completely screwed and its like quicksand ā the more they move to change the inevitable result, the faster they go under. The Schadenfreude is delicious.

Oh that must be it. A lack of subtletyā¦
Thereās no end to GOP madness.
Huhā¦I guess a mighty fortress is Orrinās Godā¦too bad.
Itād be awesome to have a President who canāt express himself in a room with Putin or Xi. Nothing bad could possibly happen.
Politicians like Hatch, Cornyn, and McConnell hide their beliefs and real intent behind smooth talk. Masters at it. Trump speaks with rough words to describe precisely what he thinks and intends to do and in so doing identifies exactly what the less than fully honest Hatch, Cornyn, McConnell and their ilk also truly aim to accomplish. There is no difference between him and them. Trump is clearly dangerous, but transparent. He can be stopped in November with votes cast for understanding hearts, thoughtful policies and fairness along with more love and kindness in politics. Donaldās one great service is his stripping the masks from so many other Republicans who are also incredibly dangerous to our nation. Now outed by him, they have no place to hide.
Oh come on Hatch ā¦ do you ever want to be taken seriously again?

If this is āinexperiencedā Iād hate to see what he sounds like after heās had a bunch more practice.
āI think itās up to us to make it clear that we donāt tolerate those types of racist organizations and I donāt know many people who would believe that we do, except for all my constituents, of course.ā
Damn thatās weak Senator Hatch.
